Xiao Xixi has become accustomed to Yu Jiu's strange yin and yang. Hearing him say this at this time, he didn't think much about it at all. He just thought that his stinky problems had flared up again, and replied unceremoniously.
"Isn't it known to the world that I like him?"
Yu Jiu stared at her for a moment.
Just when Xiao Xixi thought he would say something, he just chuckled.
That smile was weird, like self-deprecating and disdainful.
Xiao Xixi was too lazy to pay attention to him.
She pulled the knife out of her sleeve, and there was still blood on the blade.
This is the blood of the real Tianyan.
Xiao Xixi didn't know what she thought of, and suddenly stretched out her finger and gently wiped it from the blade.
There was a little blood on the fingertips.
She stared at the snow on her fingertips for a while, wondering what she thought, and suddenly asked.
"Do you know what the eight characters of Tianyan's birthday are?"
Yu Jiu didn't answer and asked, "Do you think that with his suspicious personality, he would tell others about such important things?"
He looked suspiciously at the woman in front of him: "Why are you asking this?"
Xiao Xixi: "I want to calculate a fortune for him."
Yu Jiu felt inexplicable: "He is already dead, what kind of divination do you give him?"
Xiao Xixi: "I always feel that he will not die so easily. I want to give him a calculation to see if he is really dead."
For someone else's fortune-telling, it is best to have that person's birthday, if not, you can make do with blood.
Xiao Xixi closed her eyes and quickly calculated in her heart.
After a while she slowly opened her eyes.
Yu Jiu asked, "How?"
Xiao Xixi: "Judging from the hexagram, the owner of the blood is indeed dead."
Yu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and sneered: "Don't be suspicious."
Xiao Xixi: "According to my calculations, the owner of this blood is not the real Tianyan."
Yu Jiu's smile froze.
He opened his eyes in disbelief: "You mean that the real Tianyan you killed just now is a fake?"
…
On the other side of the county office, the door of the study was pushed open from the inside.
The real Tianyan in a gray and white robe walked out slowly.
He still has white beard and hair, and his body is thin. Because the injury has not healed, his face is quite pale, his gray pupils are slightly cloudy, and he is holding a silver-white dust whisk. temperament.
There was a middle-aged man standing outside the door.
His name is Luo Da, he is the oldest among the children adopted by the real Tianyan, and he is also the most loyal one to the real Tianyan.
At the same time, only he knew that Tianyan Zhenren had a stand-in.
The real Tianyan was not only suspicious, but also extremely cautious. He not only dug several secret passages in Youmen County for emergencies, but also prepared a substitute in advance.
The stand-in was one of his many adopted sons.
Substitutes never show up in front of people on weekdays. Even Luo Da only knew that such a substitute existed, but had never seen the real face of the substitute.
In fact, the avatar doesn't look similar to the real person Tianyan, and the appearance of the two can even be said to be completely different, but this is not a problem, because the real person Tianyan has a lot of face-changing Gu in his hands.
As long as he takes the Avatar Gu in advance for the substitute, he can change into the appearance of a real person.
Coupled with the long-term training and training, the substitute has become almost exactly the same as the real person in Tianyan, whether it is his words and deeds, or his style of dealing with others.
Even as shrewd as Yu Jiu, he couldn't tell the difference between the two of them.
Seeing the real Tianyan appear, Luo Da immediately knelt down to greet him.
"Meet the Sect Master!"
The real Tianyan coughed twice.
Immediately, a child stepped forward and put on a gray-white crane cloak for him.
He asked in a hoarse voice, "My stand-in is dead?"
Luo Da answered truthfully.
"Yes, your stand-in has been killed by the imperial concubine and Yu Jiu. The two of them fled into the back garden. The terrain in the back garden is complicated. Our people are searching for them everywhere."
The real Tianyan coughed twice.
Luo Da said worriedly: "Your injury..."
Zhenyan Tianyan took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort in his body, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay, you take everyone out of the back garden."
Luo Da was puzzled: "Why? Do we care about Yu Jiu and the imperial concubine?"
Tianyan Zhenren: "Xiao Jiu is a very clever boy. It's hard to find him by ordinary methods. Besides, we don't have so much time to waste on the two of them now."
When he mentioned Yu Jiu, he didn't look very angry, and his tone was even full of tolerance, as if a kind elder was tolerant of a child who made mistakes.
But Luo Da knew that the sect master hated betrayal the most. Now Yu Jiu dared to help outsiders to deal with the sect master, and even killed the double that the sect master carefully cultivated. The sect master must have poisoned Yu Jiu.
As long as Yu Jiu is caught, the sect master will make his life worse than death.
Luo Xiao asked cautiously.
"According to your high opinion, how can we catch them both in the shortest possible time?"
The real Tianyan smiled slightly: "Go set a fire and burn the entire back garden. If the two of them don't want to be burned alive, they can only come out of the back garden."
Luo Da suddenly said: "This subordinate understands, and the subordinate will do it now!"
…
inside the cave.
Yu Jiu had already stood up.
He tore two pieces of fabric from his clothes at random and wrapped his wounded hands so they wouldn't continue to bleed.
Xiao Xixi was lying at the entrance of the cave, sticking out her head and looking out.
Not a single figure was seen.
The whole back garden was unbelievably quiet.
Yu Jiu's expression was serious, and there was no longer any looseness.
Based on his understanding of Tianyan Zhenren, Tianyan Zhenren would not easily put himself at risk. In other words, the "Tianyan Zhenren" who easily exposed himself to him and Xiao Xixi was probably just a stand-in.
It's no wonder that the real Tianyan didn't go further when he knew that there was something wrong with his whereabouts for the past two weeks, and he stayed with him with confidence.
It turned out that the real Tianyan was just a stand-in.
They killed a double.
And the real Tianyan Zhenren is still hiding in the dark, maybe he has come up with some vicious method at this time, and is preparing to kill the two of them.
If Yu Jiu and Xiao Xixi were to hide here again, they would most likely be caught in a urn.
They have to get out of this place as soon as possible.
After confirming that no one was outside, Xiao Xixi and Yu Jiu left the cave, looking for an exit that no one knew about.
Strangely, they never saw anyone from Tianmen along the way.
The entire back garden was eerily silent.
The quieter it was, the more uneasy Xiao Xixi felt.
At this moment.
A pungent smell of smoke penetrated into their nostrils,
Both of them couldn't help coughing.
When he looked up again, there was a raging fire not far away.
It was already dark at this moment, and the flames rose into the sky, dancing wildly in the cold wind, the fire spread rapidly, and the firelight almost reflected the night into day.
